My theory is by no means monolithic or invariable. For example, SayUncle, one of my favorite sites, is nothing like that. He is an aggregator of stories he thinks we'll like and keeps the editorializing to a reason why he thinks we'll like them. Instapundit, too.

On my part, I started my blog for an online identity and lately prefer to post my poetry and pictures and pictures friends send me, rather than commenting on events.

I'm not a whiner! Why are people always calling me a whiner? It's so unfair. Why can't people be nicer instead of always saying mean things like calling me a whiner when I'm not? I'm a serious editorialist. Life just isn't fair. I try so hard to write good blog posts and all I get in return is ingratitude and rudeness. I hate it when people call me a whiner. I'm not a whiner.
